The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

[Corey]

lol never thought I'd meet a group of people more negative than myself, feeling right at home. First, stop trying to predict what is a very close race. Second, 2nd place is not bad!!!!

Herman Cain sounds like a reverend in a southern church on Sunday. Wow.

 

[anewvoice]

This is feeling over.

Congrats to Bachmann.

Put yourself into your head back in April, we win 2nd and are pushing hard against 1st place, with continued MSM bashing? I think you'd have smiled that day, so just hang out for the end and smile. We're winning the war, and a number of battles!

 

[anewvoice]

Bachmann won? Surely you're joking. That speech was awful!

Wonder how many people that already voted for Bachmann had to take a shower after that speech, ugh.

Fox guy just said Ron Paul won 0 delegates in 2008.

His point was...?

 

[RM918]

We're at coin flips right now. Won't know until it's announced.

His point was...?

Isn't that actually not true? He got delegates.

 

[devil21]

His point was...?

To lie, obviously.

If back in 2007 anyone had told me that we were fighting for first I would have been ecstatic, and I still am.

Fox just spent 5 mins on RP. The woman basically said RP had a real shot to become the President in a three way race between Romney and Perry, unless I am mistaken. She seemed embarrased but held her ground in her statements. The guy (host) was a little upset and said "I have only heard two names that are electable".

Politico: Bachmann has given away over 6000 tickets. She looks like a winner.

 

[archlinux]

CSPAN is having call in now. It would be cool if some well spoken Paul supporters could call in.

 

[libertybrewcity]

Ron Paul probably won the straw poll.

What's with all this negative talk?

If he loses, then we all be sad for the night, get really drunk, sleep it off, and get right to it tomorrow.

If he wins, we still get drunk and get right to tomorrow.

We're not Pawlenty's campaign in which the straw poll makes or breaks the campaign.

Newbie question butttt. When you say tickets what exactly do you mean?

 

[Agorism]

If they give out a ticket, does the person HAVE to vote for her?
